The past month, weather has been hot & humid, which causes us to close up the house and put on the AC. I hate to cook or meal plan in this weather. Any suggestions?

    What kinds of meals? Obviously sandwiches, yogurt, fruit, veg will work....You can boil instant rice in the microwave if you don't want to use the stove. It freezes well for leftovers.

    Make salad a couple of nights per week. Cook up meat in advance, you can use the crockpot for this, and then use it all week long so you don't heat up the house every night.

    Green salads topped with nuts or tempeh or lean proteins
    Chopped salads
    Bruschetta "salad" with a little toast
    Light pastas with big salads
    Traditional fries heavy on veggies and light on carbs
    "hash" with other veggies instead of potatoes
    Smoothies, when you have no appetite
    Homemade light potato salads
    Picnics-- lots of fruit and cut veggies with a little cheese and a little bread
    Sandwiches
    Bean, rice, veggie burritos
